NHER 49260 (Cropmark and Earthwork record) - Cropmarks of field boundaries and enclosures of unknown date

May 2008. Norfolk NMP.
The cropmarks of a small group of undated field boundaries and a possible rectilinear enclosure of unknown date are visible on aerial photographs to the south of Bradwell (S1). The site is intersected by the Browston Lane. These cropmarks are located to the immediate south of an enclosure (NHER 18388), which may be of Roman date, and to the north of a possible Roman road (NHER 43591). The cropmarks recorded under this number would appear to represent a different phase to these two possible elements of the Roman landscape. It is possible that they pre-date this period, although this is not certain.
The majority of the cropmarks are located within the western half of the site, to the west of Browston Lane. At TG 4994 0265 is a possible rectilinear or trapezoidal enclosure or field, measuring 80m by approximately 60m across.
